What soap/cream did you use today?

Floris No. 89 shaving cream

It’s cooler in Idaho today.  Not a lot cooler and a stinking heat wave is headed my way and the high of 90 is still about ten degrees above normal but cooler…. Last night after work I went to the mountains.  Family reunion this weekend and I wanted to check on things.  BOY HOWDY!  If you wish to ransack a home do it now because everyone in this Nation is in Idaho and not at their domicile.  Last year was busy but this year is worse (or better if you sell things to out-of-staters.  More than a bit worried that given the added pressure and the camping in less desirable places that someone is going to not know that a campfire lit in the duff and detritus of years will think a fire is cold when in fact it’s moving around under the surface.  Fingers crossed.  
This morning I chose grassy MdC vetivyr and it was glorious.

I leave this soap on the night table next to my pillow because I want to keep a close eye on it all the time. I’m sure that someone – or something – is creeping into the house at night and replenishing it. Each day I give it close to two-hundred licks with a thick synthetic brush. But each next morning when it steps on the scales, it’s lost only a gram or two. Doesn’t make sense. So, today I decided to take drastic measures: the hefty, thunderous Marco Method. A stiff boar brush and lots and lots of water should have coaxed a few extra grams from the puck. Tomorrow's weigh in will determine the success of this approach. It’s not that I want to destroy this soap. It’s truly wonderful stuff. I just want to stay ahead of Mike and his minions and their nefarious plan to refill it every night.
